If you are using the lyr 3 as output why do you need it? what were you using the program for?

 

[Chewychunga]

I'm using it so I have 2 outputs but 5 separate inputs that I can divide up when streaming / gaming
Allows me to do stuff like playing music without recording it (copyright YouTube/twitch crap) or to allow me to mute separate parts

 

[chef8489]

Ok so you are only using it while recording streaming and gaming not for music. Just disable it when doing anything with music or not needing it as it might affect sound quality. When you say output you are referring to simulated outputs not physical outputs and inputs. A mic input would be a physical input and headphones would be physical output. Twitch and youtube are simulated outputs.

Awesome! You stepped into an extremely nice setup right off the bat. Most of us have to upgrade to it.

Be aware that both the Aeon's and the Lyr will need playing time to break in before they sound their best. By all means enjoy them as soon as you get 'em hooked up, but they'll improve quite a bit over the first 100 hours of use.

Which dac option did you get?

 

[Chewychunga]

I got the multi bit dac built into the lyr (website said it was better one)

Yep. It sounds great. Love mine. You should love the combo.

 

[Chewychunga]

Hope so
Now I need to figure a good media player / streaming service
Guess that's good to post in another thread tho

 

[chef8489]

Jriver is a great media player. You can download a free trial of it. https://www.jriver.com/

For streaming i use tidal hifi wjich is loseless but spotify has some features i like also even though its premium is only 320kbps.

 

[Chewychunga]

I'm using Spotify myself
Also made a topic on this

I use Qobuz HiFi, I stepped up some time ago and I'm happy with it.
IMO the soundstage is a bit clearer and it sounds also more detailled. It depends on the music.
You could start a free trial and do a comparison between Spotify, and Qobuz, if you hear no difference, you can be happy because you only pay the half of Qobuz per month.

I don't like Tidal, the recomendation is not good organised and I also don't find my music very fast.
